Year, it sucks, but people having used a paranoid firewall with a

Well, we could try to support the git protocol over port 80..

IOW, it's probably easier to try to get people to use

	git clone git://some.host:80/project

and just run git-daemon on port 80, than it is to try to set of magic cgi
scripts etc.

Except some filtering firewalls try and strip content from data (like ActiveX controls.)

Running git on port 53 will bypass pretty much every firewall out there.

(If you want to learn how to bypass an overactive firewall, talk to a bunch of teenagers at a school with an agressive porn filter.)
